Thank you Angelo Ogbonna for performing a great service to football supporters across England, and indeed, the world.

How? If a shit match goes that far, we deserve penalties.

Did you think it was a shit match? I actually really enjoyed it, lots of chances, players clearly dead on their feet towards the end, dodgy reffing, some poor defending, some brilliant play, Sturridge coming back. I don’t know, I just felt like there was a lot going on, no?

If any games goes that far, you still deserve penalties. If a game is 10-10 and you’re 30 second away from a penalty shootout, then you want a penalty shootout.

ONLY if it doesn’t not involve your club.

I did NOT want pens last night.

Yeah I get that, particularly as Mignolet is exactly the kind of keeper who might drop it into his own net during a 90 minutes and then have a blinder in the shoot out.

Thought the weekend was a bust, even the West Ham game wasn’t overly thrilling despite the score and the quality of the goals, first half in particularly was drab to watch and I think the complete lack of crowd was to blame. The Chelsea v City game was a bit of a farce. It was like some bizare europa tie with the fact City had about 5 or 6 guys who had squad numbers between 57 and 78.

We took 7,200 and could of taken more had Blackburn been able to sort out the segregation, we could have filled another stand.

9,000 tickets sold to West Ham priority points holders for the trip to Man Utd.

Couldn’t do anything in response to that Lukaku goal except shrug. I’ve seen him do it so many times for me on FM15 where he turns into an unstoppable force of nature that I’m now desensitized to it. I mean it was only a matter of time before he did it in real life.

Should have been a red card to wolfman Gabriel in the first half so was nice of him to atone for that by not marking his man properly for the first. Arsenal fans hate two footed challenges and usually start baying like French dukes so they obviously missed that challenge from him first half….

So Leicester could win the Premier League and it looks like a surprise FA Cup winner as well.

Btw Leicester doing so well has taken an eye off Watford. Nobody had much confidence in them before the season, especially because of their previous inability to keep a manager for more than a few weeks. They’ve avoided relegation comfortably and now a FA cup semi-final.

I hate Arteta, I hate every Arsenal fan in the stadium that day, I hate Wenger for his flouncing and crying and flapping his arms on the sideline. The mediocrity and decline of my side has been challenged into an irrational hatred of another side. It’s what all reasonable grown up fans should do.

I remember that. Not sure what Arteta did wrong? He was on the deck… I remember a mate of mine was at that game and said it looked so bad in the stadium but was clearly not a red when watching on TV. RvP was the only one really going to the ref too and he’s a dick so, yeah. Bit of an odd thing to hold a 5 year grudge for.

As for the game today, not seen it. But we ain’t in form and we have no right to win the FA Cup. I’d sacrifice it for the league all day. So, gonna reserve my judgment til the end of the season.
